HI EVERYONE, Best of Winter has a Energetic, Indie, Pop, Emo thing going, but since none of us has any formal musical training or background, we can't figure it out, but we're young, so eventually we'll get it. After spending over a year of writing, practicing, and doing a show whenever we saw three or more people gathered together, we eventually progressed to larger towns and crowds. Recently we've played a couple shows in St. Louis and are booked for several more. "Only In The Long Run", a six song CD was released in Oct. 2003 and we will released a all new 10 song CD in late May, 2004. Listen and let us know if we are heading in the right direction. Thanks
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Since July, 2003, We probably averaged 5 Live shows per month, 6 or 7 the last 3 months. Mostly IL + MO, and we love every minute. Special Moments, yes, 1st time we heard one of our songs on the radio and 1st time we played in St. Louis.
Your musical influences
Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Saves The Day, Park, Green Day, Blink 182, Name Taken, Thrice, and thats in no particular order. In comparison to clashing guitars, ours are blending with a rythem that takes you up and down, over and over.
What equipment do you use?
Lead and Rythem guitars, Bass and Mapex Drums, with the addition of keyboards, in the near future.

I'm your newest fan!!
Sounds pretty marketable. Good pollish. See you on the TRL!
hey Oliver, just listening to "Fire" right now I like the vocals and the piano I'd bring up the piano in the mix for sure. I'm not a big fan of drum machines but it does kind of work with this song. what I would of liked to hear is a catchy chorus. the song is very much the same. if you added a chorus section and brought the level up I think it could be a good song. Open Up The Sky ya this song is very good be a great song to open up your cd with. I really like your vocals. This song could work as a single without the intro or like I said a great opener to your cd. "Ready Set Stop" sounds a bit like a matthew goode song(thats a compliment) vocals don't come in until 1:10 or so don't know if it could work as a single I would probably bring in the vocals sooner maybe have a radio edit keep in mind most videos ans songs on the radio in this style are between three and four minutes. It doesn't drag at all though I think it moves well. I'm not sure which song I like better between this o
Q #1 What Genre is it? Alternative. The intro souns a lot like foo fighters.... Q #2 How Do We End It? ie: Just fade away or Billy Idol the sucker? Q #3 Do You Like It? YA!
Intro/Open up the sky- wow good song, i liked the drums in this one, perhaps a bit repetitive overall? I like when the 2 guitars play.... good work! I like it more when the vocal come in, great great intro tune!! Keep it up!, see ya....
